The People Speak

This stirring History film pays homage to ordinary citizens whose words and actions commanded extraordinary change in America. Using dramatic and musical performances of the letters, diaries and speeches of everyday Americans, the People Speak gives voice to those who spoke up for social change throughout U.S. history, forging a nation from the bottom up with their insistence on equality and justice. A labor of love, the cast includes interviews and narration from international celebrities and activists such as Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, Viggo Mortensen, Marisa Tomei, Don Cheadle, Bruce Springsteen, Eddie Vedder, Allison Moorer, John Legend and many others.
